The top person on the list had 1,155, so Timmy needs only 156 more K&#39;s this year to have the highest total through five seasons ever. Very achievable if he stays healthy.Zenslingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06040836002694584468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-49858559378717118252011-06-07T07:44:00.259-04:002011-06-07T07:44:00.259-04:00Would love to see Wake set the franchise mark for ...Would love to see Wake set the franchise mark for wins. Does he have 12 more wins somewhere in him? The question really is whether the Sox will retain him after this season if he doesn&#39;t get there in 2011.<br /><br />Odd to think that no active player has won more games than Wake. Great stat!FenFanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02348863925130603048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-34012282100154405572011-06-06T17:57:39.008-04:002011-06-06T17:57:39.008-04:00Believe it or not, loyal reader Eric Lee reports, ...<i>Believe it or not, loyal reader Eric Lee reports, it was 1879.</i><br /><br />Actually at least 1880: Tommy Bond (the <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/W_progress.shtml" rel="nofollow">leader</a> in 1879) didn&#39;t pick up his 200th win until sometime in 1880.<br /><br />It might also have been 1968 when Don Drysdale picked up his 200th win (finished the year as the active leader with 204). Someone would have to check what the other elder pitchers were up to in 1968.<br /><br />What ESPN means is that 1879 was the last full year without an active player with 200 wins. But if Wakefield gets his 200th this year, that statement won&#39;t be true this year either.Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00421785398444449007noreply@blogger.com
